Should America be Deporting Domestic Violent White Males?

Now there's a good idea but nobody would want them!

I have begun to receive many comments about this editorial and am sending it out one more time. I think many of us in America are wanting to address this issue both of white violence and white supremacy. It is way past time for all of us to honor the other and begin to teach in our schools and in our communities overall the sad history of European violence and white supremacy so that we can move beyond this. We have kept it under the radar screen for far too long even though it faces us promptly every single day! I welcome your comments and suggestions for community action and literature overall.

Violent "white" American males are the problem in America as they have killed far more Americans than any other male group. Yet, just imagine the press and comments from Donald Trump if Las Vegas killer Stephen Paddock had been a black male or a Mexican male or a Middle Eastern male or a Muslim male. Under those circumstances, I can just hear Trump saying, "See, I told you so! We need to control them or get rid of them!" So the question remains, when is the press, and especially Donald Trump and his supporters, going to acknowledge that this was a violent crime by a "white" male and that it is "white" American males who are far more dangerous than any other male group in the United States. Is it not time for white males in America who are concerned about the violence by other white males to begin addressing this issue? I think it is way past time for some action by white males themselves and the white community overall.

Yet, Paddock had all these guns and used an "automatic" weapon to kill 59 people and injure more than 500 now suffering individuals. And Paddock's use of an "automatic" weapon for this killing spree was the first ever in an American massacre! And no authorities knew he had a sizable compilation of weapons? And/or there was no surveillance of him? That, in itself, is a tragedy.

Should Trump include on his banning list and priorities the deportation of American White Domestic Terrorist Males? Now, there's a unique idea, except for the fact that nobody would want them! But where would he send them? Whites in British prisons, both convicts and debtors overall, were, for example, sent to the Britain's American, Australian and other colonies in the 18th and 19th centuries with Georgia being a debtors colony. But I can't imagine any country in today's world wanting to increase their violent American white male population. Can you ?

The other problem is that the American white males and those in police departments invariably are inappropriately acquitted of the most outrageous and heinous crimes, primarily against people of color, and are not placed in jail as they should be for the safety of all of us. But, nevertheless, most can be identified. This is, in fact, a major issue. Too many white males are acquitted for acts of violence that virtually any other male of color, or those not belonging to a main-stream American religion, would be penalized. In addition to the acts of violence, these inequities in the court system, or the so-called justice system, have to end.

I know that deportation of violent white males is not realistic but we do need to explore ways to better control guns and address the violent tendencies of white males in America. White males need to become accountable. Finally, American whites overall need to end this insane white supremacist mindset and, with compassion, acknowledge the beauty, profound cultures and humanity of all human beings on the face of the earth.

The following is a question from "Laughing Putin" and my reply, in the Conversation Section of RT.com, concerning the PRNK.

Wouldn't you like it better if NK people had a choice or an ability to make change in their own lives ?

I would like it better, Laughing Putin, if the U.S. 'JUSTICE DEPARTMENT Officials' charged the five Killer Kopp's Killing Mr. Freddie Gray. I would like it better, way "Moe' Bettar"; If, in Baltimore, Maryland " people had a choice or an ability to make change in their own lives ", Laughing Putin.

Police brutalizing Black people is endemic in the United States. Last Saturday police terrorized 6'4 ft, 274 lbs NFL star Michael Bennett “for walking while Black”. This latest incident stands as a testament to the police violence targeting Black people in the United States.

As a co-founder of Black Lives Matter Network, I receive countless calls from victims and families of police violence. We’ve worked relentlessly to provide folks with emotional support and connect them to policy advocates and lawyers. Yet, often our efforts to hold police accountable are prevented by the state’s lack of transparency. But for Michael’s case, transparency is the first step in the fight for justice.

Last Saturday, I received an urgent call from Michael Bennett immediately after he was assaulted by police officers in Las Vegas. Michael was leaving the Mayweather-McGregor fight and walking back to his hotel when (someone) reported shots (were/being) fired. He ran for cover and continued walking once he believed he was safe. Unexpectedly, Michael was ordered to lay on the ground by an officer who then held a gun to his head yelling, "Don't move or I will blow your fucking head off!" Officers then tossed Michael into a squad car, only to later release him once he was identified as a famous NFL star. Immediately fearing retaliation for their use of excessive force, the officers lied and told Michael they assaulted him for his own protection.

Black Lives Matter requested the names of the cops that brutalized Michael--information that is crucial to gaining police accountability and identifying misconduct within the force. However, the Las Vegas Police Department refuses to release the identity of the officers. This comes as no surprise since the department has an extensive history of terrorizing and murdering Black people.

Just four months ago, unarmed Tashii Brown was murdered after asking two Las Vegas cops where he could buy water. One officer simply answered the question, but his colleague, former Officer Kenneth Lopera grew suspicious. As Tashii was leaving where the officers were standing, Lopera--in a paranoid frenzy--ran after him and began repeatedly electrocuting the 40-year-old with a stun gun. Caught on video, Lopera proceeded to kill Tashii, who was not resisting, using an illegal chokehold. Although charges were pressed against Lopera, it was the first time in over 30-years that police brutality charges were brought against an officer in Las Vegas. Let’s secure the information in Michael’s case to bring about justice!
